mwerth's gallery, Thule Air Base, Greenland

Working and living almost at the Top of the World (76 north), on a US Air Base, only 1524 km from the Northpole, gives an Unique opportunity to capture some very special photos from the Landscape , the Airfield and the Species, able to survive in the harsh conditions. During Winter, temperatures down to 30-35-38 Degrees Celsius below zero are common (lowest temperature -65 C), but in Juli and August temperatures can reach 20-22 Degrees Celsius. From April to September it's light 24 hours a day, in the opposite to December and January where it's completely dark.
My gallery is deliberately organized in mixed order, newest last, to give you, as a viewer, the chance to discover all categories.
